It must be said that the hungry\/Hungary pun gets a little old (as in \u2018I am a hungry Hungarian’). Just about everybody in front of a camera or mic who arrives in Hungary tries it on nonetheless. We don\u2019t mind, so long as they also offer something original and fun. Luckily, Barry of the You Tube munchie-gorging channel My Virgin Kitchen, also has some chops (sorry for a bad pun of our own) when it comes to sampling and describing Hungarian snack food. Though the selection of snack-food on offer in the video (bake rolls, cookies) is not terribly inspired, the host\u2019s pronunciation is. He mistakes brands for products, but the fact that he has a little black pug looking on in boredom makes it all forgivable. That he disdains marzipan, which Hungarians are known for, endears him to no local, but his enthusiasm for T\u00far\u00f3 Rudi almost makes up for this momentary digression in taste.<\/p>\n

T\u00far\u00f3 Rudi is a national treasure that \u2013 as a visitor \u2013 you will either love or hate. Literally translated as \u2018curd rod\u2019 it is just that: cheese curd dipped in rich chocolate. Mostly sweet but kind of savory, it is uniquely Hungarian. It can be spotted by its distinctive red-and-white polka-dot packaging. It\u2019s enough to make a bad pun seem very tasty indeed.<\/p>\n
